ANOTHER SHOOTIHG
AMONG MOVIE STARS
AFFAIR REPORTED
Mabel Normand’s Chauffeur
Shoots Courtland Dines,
Who Was Entertaining
Miss Norman.
CHAUFFEUR GIVES
HIMSELF TO POLICE
Said He Had Been Sent for
Miss Norman and He Shot
Dines When Latter At
tempted to Get a Bottle.
Los Angeles. Jan. 2.—The infatuation
of a chauffeur for his film actress em
ployer, and his jealousy for her wealthy
Denver acquaintance, according to the
police, were the motives that prompted
Joe Kelly, alias H. A. Greer, to shoot
Courtland S. Dines, of Denver, last night,
in the presence of the two motion pic
ture stars, Mabel .Normftnd'and Edna
Purviance.
IiOS Angeles. Cal., Jan. 2.—Courtland
S. Dines. 3f> years old, oil operator and
club man of Denver, was shot in the
breast at his bungalow last night, ac
cording to police, by Joe Kelly, alias
H. A. Greer, chauffeur for Miss Mabel
Norm and. screen actress, whose pistol
is alleged to have been used in the shoot
ing. Surgeons today predicted that
Dines would recover.
Kelly freely admitted the shooting,
according to police, even going out of
his way to bring-them the pistol, and
announced:
“I just shot a man.”
Dines, Miss Normand and Miss lSdna
Purviance, another motion picture ac
tress, were in the Denver man’s apart
men here when Kelley appeared and in
sisted that Miss Normand leave with
him. He had been sent to take her
home, he told the police.
An argument is said to have -arisen
and Miss Normand at first refused to
leave. Then she changed her mind, ac
cording to the chauffeur and allowed him
to lead her toward the door.
“But Dines got up and started to
grab a bottle,” Kelley is said to have
told the police, “and that is where the
trouble started. I just shot him.”~
He said he feared for his life, as
Dines is the larger man.
Both of the young .women were ques
tioned and released. Kelley was' held.
Later the three confronted with
reports that Miss Purviance and Dines
were engaged, although no one intimated
that this had anything to do with the
shooting. Miss Purviance declined to
the reports, Miss Normand in
sisted that they were true, and Dines
denied them flatly.
The chauffeur said Miss Normand
was ill with appendicitis and should
have been in a hospital.
Dirges, said Kelly shot him without
provocation when Miss Normand refused
to leave. Miss Purviance said Dines
was sitting behind a table and made no
move toward Kelly.
SNUB BY BARONESS MAY
COST HUSBAND HIS JOB
Her Slap at German Ambassador Maty
Be Construed as Affront to President.
Washington. D. C„ Jan. 2.—More
serious consequences than w’ere at first
expected are possible as a result of the
refusal of Baroness de Cartier de Mrir
chienne, wife of the Belgian Ambassa
dor. to accept Dr. Otto Wiedfeldt, the
German Ambassador, as her escort at
the formal White House diplomatic din
ner.
Capital society, which viewed the in
cident lightly and considered it merely
a conversation topic, is now looking to
ward President Coolidge and guessing
whether or not he will make it the
basis for official action. Special interest
& evidenced among the diplomatic corps,
some members of which*, it is under
stood, believing the snub has presented
a grave question.
The apparent tendency of the White
House is to suppress discussion as much
as possible, indicating President Cool
idge would prefer to have the matter
pass over. It is pointed out, however,
that the Baroness de Cartier affronted
one of the President’s guest, and there
by indirectly affronted the President
himself, which is regarded a most seri
ous offense.
It would cause no surprise if Baron
de Cartier should be assigned to another
doplomatic post, ' though neither the
White House nor the State Department
has made known yet any official position
on the incident.
